<div dir="auto">Amber's idea is much better than culling members. I really like that the Facebook group has everyone on it. Makes it feel more unisfa-y since any old members can come out of the woodwork and comment on issues or jokes with relevant information
or nostalgia. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">It also makes contacting people for reunions a lot easier. Which I know you won't have to deal with, but you should consider. </div>

Ugh Facebook. Anyway - </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Potentially - you could have a Unisfa Events group which is just for events, to solve this issue, and subscribe current members (As per your membership lists from o-day on) to this. This would also be less work than trying to sort through all 500+ people
on the current community and determine if they are “active”. Then just post events created by UniSFA events in the main UniSFA group, and people who aren’t part of UniSFA Events would still be able to join but not be invited, but you can invite all your current
members. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It’s kind of nice to have everyone who was in the club be in the Facebook for things like the 40th anniversary etc, and general chat purposes, IMO.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(This kind of issue has been around since time immemorial, leading to the creation of the unisfa and unisfa-announce mailing lists, btw)</div>
